12 x straight twigs approximately 6" (15cm) in length
1 x spool of natural twine
1 x pinch of cinnamon
Matches or lighter
Casting the spell:
Cast a circle.
Place a little lighter fluid on the charcoal disk and light it and the candle saying:
Holy Brigid of the sacred flame,
Bless this charm made in your name.
Divide the twigs into four groups of three and bind the groups together with the twine (at right angles to each other) so that each group of three forms one side of a diamond shape.
Place a little more lighter fluid on the charcoal disk and add the cinnamon to it. Saying:
I call upon the four winds
To breathe gently on this house
In the name of Brigid's blessing.
Close the circle.
Let the candle burn down and the charcoal disk (if still alight) go out.
Hang the Brigid's cross over the hearth. If your house does not have a hearth then hang it in the room that you consider is the room the family spends most time together in.
